Tasty. I made in the oven as well. The directions do not say too pre-cook or not the bacon. I didn't and it was a left a little too soft and fatty for my taste.

    Have made pork loin wrapped with bacon on the grill before with crushed fennel seed and its incredible that way so modified this accordingly: We have an herb garden ready for harvest so chopped some rosemary and mixed with garlic and maple bacon. Made a bed of sliced potatoes and onions with a few sprigs of rosemary and couple sprigs of tyme. Rubbed with olive oil. Sprinkled extra bacon mix around and placed the loin on top, fat side up. I had to sprinkle a few fennel seeds on top along with the salt and pepper. Baked at 450 for 10 minutes and down to 350 for the balance of 1 hour. Rest for 10 minutes - was moist with a perfect blend of flavors!

    I have to agree with Dreamgoddess, the aroma is unbelievable. I made this in the oven as well, but i made a bed for the roast of Halved new red potatoes tossed with olive oil and rosemary. I put the roast on top of it and cooked at 325 till done. (about 1 hour) it was delicious! thanks for the recipe!

    My family really enjoyed this. The changes I made were using boneless pork ribs cut into cubes. I added cubed potatoes and chunky slices of onion and cooked it in my crockpot for about 6 hours. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
